it was the first box built in the

A
whole lot of other mail gets into
Box 31 and ordinarily it would
be up to me to get a truck and
take it away, but a family in Es

mine, put it in bundles and pay
the postage on them and address
the same to me.

This season with all the warm
weather, is a good one fo r grow
ing tomatoes.
It is also a good
season for appearance of blossom
end rot of tomatoes. Blossom end
rot is not a disease. Rather, the
condition is caused by
rapidly
fluctuating soil moisture.
SYMPTOMS: Black
lesions
form on the biossom end of the
fruit. The diseased arv.i shrinks
and causes fruit to be misshapen.
Only some fruit on a plant may
be effected.
CONTROL: Keep soil moisture
as constant as possible througn
the growing season. Light sandy
soils are particularly prone
to
produce diseased fruit because
of rapid loss of soil moisture.
